Last resort Quote by Garrett M. Graff

Download Open image
““British prime ministers, upon taking office, hand-wrote letters to the commanders of their nuclear missile submarines. Known as “Letters of Last Resort,” each individual missive was then locked away in a special safe inside a larger safe in the sub control room. The letters contain personal instructions about what to do if the United Kingdom is destroyed in a nuclear attack.””
